Japanese-based retailer Kinokuniya, housed in The Galeries overlooking Town Hall, the Queen Victoria Building and George St, is a much-loved spot for tourists and locals alike.
“We apologise to any of our customers who have been approached in the store or had the negative experience of someone trying ‘pick-up’ techniques with them. Yesterday, it also issued a warning to any other “social coaching companies” considering its idyllic aisles as a training ground.“Our staff and security have all been made aware that this has been happening and are on the lookout for anyone who is receiving unsolicited and unwanted attention.
“I haven’t been back to Kinokuniya since. I find being harassed and used as a practice target absolutely horrendous and these guys are vile.”“Oh hello, I was just wondering if you can recommend a book?” Ms Belle recounted.
This has several components to it. Well done to the guys for attempting to learn. The lines they are using are terrible. Go direct. Patrons have a right to peace and tranquility. Feminists need to shut up. Daygame is best practised on the streets. As if a company would go there.
If the girls were being filmed I hope charges will be laid against the company.
